I had such a glorious bank holiday yesterday. I sat in my art room all day and experimented and played, - all the while listening to Radio 4 (a sure sign of my maturing age).
In a few weeks time I am leading short course at my church called "Creative Prayer Journal". Over the 5 weeks of June I want to show them how to make their own prayer art journal using various techniques. The wonderful thing about this is that most of the folk would never have done anything like this before. I am still putting the course together and so am making a prayer journal as a sample. I'll put a step-by-step tutorial on here over the next few weeks. Here's the cover of my sample prayer journal:
I then went on to make a canvas using the same method as my journal cover. I do love Blackbirds and their song inspires me and always makes me smile. The canvas is 10x8 inches. (click on image to see full size)
Great to blend your art with your work - makes it not only bearable but fun too - good for you! Say, have you played with texturing with tissue paper..? you might have.. Oy, and I want to see those glass pebbles!!

I stumbled upon your blog whilst researching for my own art workshops.. I am loving the creative prayer journal. You've made a fabulous start and I look forward to seeing the rest of the pages.
